Tuesday Cures

January 3, 2012January 3, 20121 Comment

It’s the first day of normalcy for me– back to work and back to reality. I know a lot of you feel the same way whether you are back to work, returning from winter break and starting spring semester, or just recuperating from the holidays. Since today was my first day back to work, I needed a little inspiration.

First, I need a breakfast for champs.

One of my favorites is a Greek Yogurt parfait shown here.

Then, I needed to dress my desk up a little. Since I still did not have a wedding photo at my desk, I added one.

Since I was still in vacation mode last night, my mom had us over for dinner and wine. So, since I was out later than expected I DVRed my favorite premiere’s last night. Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family, 2 Broke girls on CBS, & The Bachelor on ABC.

2012 Resolutions

December 30, 2011Leave a comment

Every year, it’s as though people have the same empty resolutions: lose weight, exercise more, get a new job. All of these resolutions are nice and all but they are always “fixing” things. I want my resolutions to be more specific and unique so I thought long and hard about my resolutions.

1. Take more risks. On my honeymoon, I chickened out of the helicopter ride in Hawaii with my husband. He said it was the most amazing experience he has ever had. I am so mad at myself for letting my fear get the best of me. Whether it be taking fun adventures or professional risks, 2012 will be my year of just having faith and going for it.

2. Eat more natural foods. In our society we are so trained to “diet” and “low-fat” foods that contain so many chemicals. Sure they are less in fat & sugars but the artificial sweeteners and flavoring have other harmful effects on our bodies. In 2012 I want to stick with basic, natural foods and really cut down my consumption of diet and artificial foods. Whole Foods & Trader Joes here I come!

3. Volunteer. As a busy young professional, time is money and hard to come by. Although I donate to many charities, I do not dedicate enough time to those in need. Whether it be visiting a nursing home or helping animals, I would like to volunteer this year. Me and my best friend made this resolution together. It’s always nice to have a partner in crime!

Textured Color

I have never been a fan of one-dimensional hair. Having one-tone hair color just bores me. I am so happy that textured colors are the hot trend right now from ombre to multi-dimensional highlights, hair is just meant to have character.

{loving this ombre blonde look. cheaper salon expenses too!}

{Jennifer Lopez is the queen of dimensional hair color}

{darker roots looks lovely on Ms. Lively}

{so pretty}

and what to avoid….. This bottle blonde look is just not flattering.

Dream in pictures

After a wonderful stretch of days off, I am back to reality wrapping up 2012 advertising campaigns. Since a lot of people are off this week, the station is quiet. You would think it would be easier to focus but the silence is distracting. I am finding myself daydreaming. Sometimes it’s fun to daydream but I took it a step further today, I put my daydreams into pictures. Visualization at it’s best 🙂

Here’s to 2012

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and all your holiday wishes came true. Christmas is the perfect time to wrap up a wonderful year and enjoy your family & friends. New Year’s is the time to celebrate a brand new start and of course, throw a huge bash. It is also a time for crazy risqué fashion that would otherwise be inappropriate. From glittery eyes to skin-tight dresses, any thing goes on New Years Eve.
